I got a letter. Wonder who it's from?

After the last post I felt you all needed an update before we get to "doing this all over again".  Today is Thursday, 1 week from the treatment cycle I had.  Yesterday and today I held food down but the primary side effect of the Chemo drug (diarrhea ) has taken over so my body is desperately trying grab any nutrients from the food as it goes flying by like an energetic 2 year old.

This is a space I try to be honest about what life as a cancer pateint feels like however for most people, until you experience cancer in you family many of the terms like chemo or what it makes you feel like come with a vague understanding.  

When you read the title you may have been wondering the refference.  This is a song which was in Blues Clues that Steve sang when he got mail.  One thing you must understand is we have a service where we see most of our mail prior to it reaching the mailbox.  For someone who likes opening things this creates a little excitement especially if you don't immediately recognize the return address.  One of today's letters was from a friend who is also a cancer survivor.  There is a shared understanding from people (in the club) about what you feel and think about the different facets of cancer.  This particular card (as most are) was full of wonderful sentiments, encouragement and a promise of continued prayer.  I read through this card  several times today and will continue reading it many years into the future.  A similar thing happens for me with the comments on this blog.  I love reading the thoughts, encouragement, and prayers,  Again I read them many years into the future.  This becomes a stamp in time where I can go to look back at God's mighty work.  

To the sender of today's Card. "Thank You so much!"  To the sender of any card I get, Thank you also!  To those who comment on the blog.  Thank you even though it doesn't get mentioned often.
